Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 961127-6700-AR-TP are selected based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

• 27-position configuration at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch
• Surface mount solder termination
• Male pin contact type
• Gold-plated mating contact finish
• Board-to-board or cable-compatible style
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

The substitute parts listed maintain these core electrical and mechanical characteristics. Variations in contact material (phosphor bronze vs. copper alloy), insulation material (LCP vs. thermoplastic), and contact finish thickness are within acceptable engineering tolerances for this connector category. Operating temperature ranges and current ratings differ among substitutes but remain suitable for standard industrial applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain functional equivalence to the 961127-6700-AR-TP across core electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection should be based on the following criteria:

Active Product Status: The GBC27SFBN-M30 (Sullins Connector Solutions), TSM-127-02-L-SV, TSM-127-02-S-SV, and TSM-127-02-S-SV-A (Samtec Inc.) are all active products with current manufacturing support, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability.

Compliance Certifications: All substitute parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity levels, matching the original part's compliance profile. The Sullins and Samtec parts additionally provide ROHS3 compliance documentation.

Temperature Operating Range: The Sullins GBC27SFBN-M30 offers the widest operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 150°C), exceeding the original part's -25°C ~ 105°C specification. Samtec parts operate within -55°C ~ 125°C. Selection depends on application thermal requirements.

Current Capacity: The Sullins GBC27SFBN-M30 provides 3A current rating, exceeding the original 2A specification. Samtec parts do not specify current ratings in the provided data.

Connector Features: Samtec parts offer cuttable header configurations, enabling custom position counts. The TSM-127-02-S-SV-A variant includes board guide features for enhanced mechanical stability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the GBC27SFBN-M30 directly replace the 961127-6700-AR-TP?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical 27-position, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch configurations with surface mount solder termination, male pins, and gold-plated mating contacts. The Sullins part maintains UL94 V-0 and MSL 1 specifications. The higher current rating (3A vs. 2A) and extended temperature range provide additional design margin.

Q: What is the difference between the Samtec TSM-127-02-L-SV and TSM-127-02-S-SV variants?

A: Both are cuttable headers with identical electrical specifications. The primary difference is contact finish thickness: TSM-127-02-L-SV provides 10.0µin (0.25µm) gold plating, while TSM-127-02-S-SV provides 30.0µin (0.76µm). The TSM-127-02-S-SV-A adds board guide features for mechanical alignment.

Q: Why does TSM-127-02-02-L-SV-011 show 26 positions loaded instead of 27?

A: This variant is manufactured with 26 positions loaded out of 27 available positions. This configuration is suitable for applications requiring one vacant position. Verify application requirements before selection.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitutes?

A: The Sullins GBC27SFBN-M30 is supplied in bulk packaging. Samtec and 3M parts do not specify packaging details in the provided data. Contact manufacturers for specific packaging requirements.

Q: Do all substitutes maintain the same contact length?

A: No. The original 961127-6700-AR-TP specifies 0.260" (6.60mm) mating contact length. Substitute parts provide 0.318" (8.08mm) for Sullins and 0.320" (8.13mm) for Samtec variants. These differences may affect mating depth and should be verified against receptacle specifications.
